Ultraman victory/Shou

Ultraman Victory (ウルトラマンビクトリー, Urutoraman Bikutorī) is an ancient Ultra who first appears in Ultraman Ginga S. He is the guardian of an underground race of people called the Victorians and the guardian of the Victorium Stone. He transforms using the Victory Lancer and uses Spark Dolls to access the power of monsters via his signature ability of Ultlance.

In ancient times, Ultraman Victory came from space and gave the Victorians the Victory Lancer, which a "chosen one" used to seal the Victorium Stones due to their potential to be used for nefarious desires if they fell into the wrong hands. However, when a civil war ensued over the use of Victory Lancer, Shepherdon, a peaceful monster that coexisted with them was influenced by the battle and rampaged until a Victorian used the item and becomes Ultraman Victory to stop it. Eventually, Shepherdon returns back to its former self but in the aftermath of the battle, several Victorians were banished to the other dimension, among them was Hiyori. While the remained ones forgot, Shepherdon still remembers it.

After Alien Chibull Exceller sent his armies to steal the stones, Sho, a Victorian Prince, was given the Victory Lancer by his mother to retrieve it and allowed him the ability to transform himself into the ancient Ultra. During the Ultra's first fight against Android One Zero as EX Red King, Hikaru/Ginga came to help him by defeating the monster but as he was about to claim the Spark Doll, Sho/Victory stole it from him and Ultlance with the item to utilize EX Red King Knuckle, confronting the red Ultra for unknown reasons.After Sho was saved by Hikaru from the falling rocks from the buildings destroyed by Eleking, he tried to repay Hikaru's sacrifice by transforming to stop Eleking. However, he was overpowered by the beast's tail. Hikaru transformed into Ginga, saving Victory by slowing Eleking down, but he too was overpowered. As the Ultras were being beaten, Victory leapt to the sky, performing the Victory Hyper Kick on Eleking. He then used the Victorium Slash five times on the beast before he Ultlance using the EX Red King doll. Using EX Red King Knuckle, he punched Eleking, knocking the kaiju back. He then finished Eleking off with his Victorium Shoot. Though Sho had finally reconciled with Hikaru, he still adopted his aloof persona until his battle with Sadolar and Gudon, where he realized that he had been fighting with hesitation and thus he completely changed his heart towards humanity. Ginga VS Victory

When Alien Chibull Exceller Monslived on his own with the Spark Dolls of Fire Golza, Melba, Reicubas, Gan-Q, and Super C.O.V. he became the powerful gestalt, Five King, and defeated Ultraman Ginga and Victory. However, they were revived by the UPG members and faced the beast once again. Victory distracted the chimera monster with his Victorium Slash so Ginga could get close to destroy his Victorium crystals with his Ginga Spark Lance, reducing Five King's power. Victory used the same plan while Ginga Strium injured Five King.As the monster tried to escape, both of them attacked its wings, leaving Exceller unable to retreat. Ginga then put an end to Five King by using Ultraman Taro's Strium Beam, causing the monster to explode. With the battle over, the Ultras flew toward the morning sunrise. Activate!

Exceller successfully revived Dark Lugiel, combining it with the UPG Live Base (mainly for their Victorium Cannon) and turning it into Vict Lugiel. Resurrection of Lugiel Both Hikaru and Sho transformed into Ginga Strium and Victory and fought together at first, before deciding to take turns to ensure they could keep up the fight, but ultimately failed to take the kaiju down. Later, One Zero faked her betrayal by setting up the Earth core to release Victorium energies but by the time she revealed her betrayal, Exceller banished her, Hikaru and Sho from Vict Lugiel. Mid-air, the two Ultra hosts transformed and prepared to battle again. The Adventure Called Life Before another beam from the Victorium Cannon could be fired, One Zero removed Shepherdon's Spark Doll and quickly return it to Sho/Victory, who quickly Ultlance it into Shepherdon Saber to destroy the Victorium Cannon. Exceller quickly met his demise at the hands of Lugiel when he revealed himself, with Exceller returned to his Spark Doll state.Lugiel regained control over his body and restarted his plan to freeze all lifeforms on Earth in order to create an ultimate paradise. He easily defeated the two Ultras and turned them into stone statues, although they separated from their hosts to protect them. When the surviving humans regains their spirit and the Victorians gave Hikaru and Sho their necklace, they managed to revive the two Ultras and resume fighting Vict Lugiel. One Zero (whom was still inside Vict Lugiel) also hacked and weakened the kaiju from the inside.When Etelgar approached the UPG base, Victory quickly rushed over to hold him off. He was soon joined by Ultraman Ginga but even with their combined effort they barely proved to be a challenge for the interdimensional threat. The two Ultras later fused to form Ultraman Gingavictory and defeat Etelgar and his Eteldummies along with the past 8 Ultra Heroes. Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors!

Later, Sho and Sakuya had joined UPG. At some point, the two were attacked by the Terrible-Monster Aribunta, who was attempting to steal the Victorium Stone. Sho transformed into Victory to fight the Terrible-Monster. Unknown to him, it was all a plan made by Yapool to collect every piece of his abilities and combat skills. While fighting the Terrible-Monster with the Sadora Scissors, Sakuya was attacked by Yapool who stole her Victorium Necklace. Victory protected her from Aribunta's flames at great cost to himself, but was saved by the arrival of Ultraman Hikari. After Hikari explained himself, he recharged Victory, granting him a special Ultraman Hikari Spark Doll, the allowed him to summon the Knight Timbre. Victory transformed into Victory Knight and attacked the Terrible-Monster with several slashes Knight Victorium Flash.

Afterwards, while helping the tired Hikari, Victory/Sho and his siblings were told by Hikari, of his mission from Ultraman King, and Yapool's plans. With Hikari tired, the task now fell to Victory to stop the Space Emperor's revival.

Victory made his way across space to Satellite Golgotha (the asteroid like moon of Planet Gua) in time to assist Ultraman Ace in his battle against Ace Killer who had been upgraded with his Ultlance abilities to become Victory Killer. With Ace worn from battle, Victory transformed into his Knight form and proceeded to attack the Terrible-Monster, but when Lunaticks appeared to kill Ginga, Shepherdon's Spark Doll shined, whereby Victory used his Knight Timbre to bring it back to life, having remembered the words of Hikari. While Shepherdon fought Lunaticks, Victory weakened Victory Killer and then both of them finished off both Terrible-Monster with their signature beams. Ginga and Ace were then healed thanks to Shepherdon, and they then went to Planet Gua to assist Leo and Astra who were fighting Vakishim, Doragory and Verokron.Even with his new power, Victory could not match up to Juda's swordsmanship, however, he refused to give up and eventually, he UITrans Shepherdon's Spark Doll to summon the Shepherdon Saber. He also changed the polarity of the dimension by connecting to the Victorium Energy within it, weakening Super Grand King Spectre and Juda long enough for Victory and the other Ultras to destroy them once and for all.

After that, Victory used the Knight Timbre to return the Victorium Core's energies back to Earth, where he returned with Ginga. He tried to return the Knight Timbre to Hikari, but he suggested that he keep it to ensure the future of the planet
